  I tried Matt's driver in 2.1.6.1 last night (after a couple of minor
changes) and it works oK for normal operations, but when I try to access
any NFS mounted directories it would lock up.  Any ideas?

  I have a Kingston 10/100 as well as a NE2000 clone in each of the
machines.  I only tried the new driver in one machine (NFS client),
while the NFS server still was running off the NE2000.  Would this have
made a difference?

  Thanks, I appreciate all the help from the BSD community thus far.
